Directions
-
Step 1
Place the TVP strips into a bowl, add the vegan beef-style stock and stir to combine. Leave for 15 mins until the TVP has rehydrated and drain.
-
Step 2
Mix the marinade ingredients together until well combined, and add in the TVP, mixing to coat it in the marinade.
-
Step 3
Add the cornflour to the strips and toss until fully coated.
-
Step 4
In a wok, heat the oil and put the strips in to fry, separating them as much as possible.
-
Step 5
Fry until crisp and lightly browned on both sides, then drain on some paper towel.
-
Step 6
Using the same wok (no need to clean), cook the chopped capsicum and spring onions in 1 or 2 tablespoons oil for 1 minute until crisp. Add in the remaining sauce ingredients, mix to combine, and bring to a simmer.
-
Step 7
Add the TVP strips into the wok and stir through until everything is sticky and coated.
-
Step 8
Serve over a bed of rice (or noodles) and garnish with fresh spring onion.
